Article Abstract
Chlorpyrifos is one of the most widely used pesticides that acts on the nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. Prolonged use of chlorpyrifos causes severe neurological, autoimmune, and persistent developmental disorders in humans. Therefore, in this study, a highly sensitive and robust biosensor platform was devised by fabricating graphene field effect transistors (graFET) on Si/SiO substrate for the detection of chlorpyrifos in real samples. Anti-chlorpyrifos antibodies were immobilized successfully on the graphene surface. Under optimal conditions, graFET sensor showed an excellent response for chlorpyrifos detection in the linear range of 1 fM to 1 µM with a limit of detection up to 1.8 fM in spiked samples. The developed graFET biosensor is highly stable, sensitive, and specific for chlorpyrifos as confirmed by its significant ability to detect changes in electrostatic potential. These findings signify useful efficacy of immunobiosensors for the detection of chlorpyrifos and other organophosphates in fruits and vegetables.

This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of nanostructured Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films combining the conjugated copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene--3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PDOF--PEDOT) with spherical and triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNP). The LB technique allowed precise control over the molecular arrangement and distribution of the nanoparticles at the air-water interface, resulting in compact, reproducible and structurally ordered nanocomposite films. The structural and morphological properties of the interfacial monolayers and LB films were investigated using surface pressure-area isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy, polarization modulation infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) and quartz crystal microbalance.

A novel ternary synergistic photoelectrochemical (PEC) probe is presented utilizing metal-organic framework (MOF)-templated Pd/CdS@CoS nanocages for sensing chlorpyrifos (CPF) using chronoamperometry under an applied bias of - 65 mV with 465-nm LED illumination. Derived from ZIF-67 via in situ sulfidation, the hollow nanocage architecture integrated CdS nanoparticles with CoS to form a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, while decorating Pd quantum dots (QDs) created a Schottky barrier, implementing a crucial dual charge-transfer enhancement strategy. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirmed a 0.

Environmental contaminants, such as pesticides, can inhibit the enzymatic activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme necessary for neurotransmission. The inhibitory effects of structurally diverse pesticides on AChE may result from either reversible or covalent interactions. Therefore, assessing their potency typically requires different assay design to determine either dissociation constants or rate constants, respectively.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a widely used organophosphate insecticide; however, global concerns exist regarding its potential health risks, particularly developmental neurotoxicity. This study aimed to determine CPF residues in locally sourced tomatoes and cucumbers and assess the potential chronic and acute dietary risks associated with their consumption by the adult population of Armenia. As part of the national residue monitoring program, samples of the two most commonly consumed vegetables (tomato and cucumber) were collected from various regions of Armenia and analyzed using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).

The intensive use of pesticides in the province of Larache results in soil contamination, which negatively impacts microbial communities and non-target organisms, including key soil species such as earthworms. The present study is the first in the region to combine measurements of environmental concentrations of pesticides with an ecological risk assessment for the Loukkos agroecosystem. Two approaches were used to assess and characterize the potential ecotoxicological risks of the 11 pesticide residues detected: the Risk Quotient (RQ) and the Toxicity-exposure ratio (TER).
